(A little bit of) MF Global money found

Nearly $600 million in missing funds from bankrupt MF Global is still missing, in spite of earlier reports it had been found in an account at JP Morgan.

But, it turns out at least a little bit of money that MF Global’s lost track of has been found.

In New York State an unknown amount is being held by the state comptroller’s office. It’s described on the state’s unclaimed funds site as “uncashed checks,” and was reported to the state just this year.

In Illinois there are “commissions” worth more than $100 being held by the state treasurer’s office. They were reported by “Lord Abbett Tax Free Inc FD Class A2” And there is another $10 to $100 in commissions being held by Illinois, reported by “Balanced Fund 70.”

The state of Connecticut is also holding an unknown amount for MF Global.
